Default Fender is buckling...

Hey guys, just a quick question...

As long as I have had my CRX, for some reason the fender just above the tire itself buckles downward. Basically, the crease on the inside of the fender is kind of unfolding and it really makes me wonder, what the hell is that all about?

I plan on rolling the fenders anyway but was wondering about this.
Thanks for any tips...

The inside of the fender, directly above the middle of my tire. This isn't a photo of the one with a problem, but the part that is "unfolding" is right in the middle of the arch on the fender, where the spoke would be pointing straight up on my wheel.

what size tire/wheel combo are you using?
You might have to get a smaller tire or the offset of you wheel is just wrong for your car.

Several months ago when i was headed out to Project Revolution, i decided to raise my car (the venue had a rock quarry-like parking lot). Anyways, after doing that, i managed to pop out the lip you're talking about. Result? Torn up tread all around my driverside tire. Luckily none of it came close to the firewall.

So, get it bent with a baseball bat asap!
